"This book makes me never want to look through a peep hole again and if I do, I will be looking to make sure there is one in place first! I was going back and forth between who did it and how. Kinsey sure had her work cut out for her in this book." — Christine (4 out of 5 stars)
"This book makes me never want to look through a peep hole again and if I do, I will be looking to make sure there is one in place first! I was going back and forth between who did it and how. Kinsey sure had her work cut out for her in this book."
“Lord, how I like this Kinsey Millhone…The best detective fiction I have read in years.”
“A woman we feel we know, a tough cookie with a soft center, a gregarious loner.”
“Exceptionally entertaining…an offbeat sense of humor and a feisty sense of justice.”
“Kinsey is one of the most persuasive of the new female operatives…She’s refreshingly free of gender clichés. Grafton, who is a very witty writer, has also given her sleuth a nice sense of humor—and a set of Wonder Woman sheets to prove it.”
“Kinsey’s got brains and a sense of humor.”
“Millhone is a refreshingly strong and resourceful female private eye.”
" Just like all of Sue Grafton's alphabet books, this was a really great, fun read! Can't wait to start the next one tomorrow! "
" Great read as always with this author. "
" Hmmm, not quite sure yet. It seemed to be lacking some of the action that the other Kinsey Millhone books had, but the mystery itself was a good one. "
" I am just loving this series. Each novel has a new and exciting investigation for Kinsey and the continuing saga of her estranged family. These books have kept me engrossed in each situation and hungry for the next one! "
" For some reason, years ago I decided to jump into the series at "I". Realizing I had obviously missed something, I was still glad I had read it. "
" good cold case style investigation. "
" See my review on Sue Grafton's "A is for Alibi" for info on what I think of this series. "

" This is a good, suspense-filled detective series. Be aware the series has strong language and adult situations. "
" One of my favorite series! "
" One of the best of Sue Grafton "
" Great book if your into mystery "
" This was IMO one of the best of the Kinsey Millhone books. Enjoyable to read and a plot with twists and turns, but enough threads for the reader to hold on to. "
" I liked it as I like all the books in this series, but it wasn't quite as gripping as some of the others. I did like the twist at the end for who did the crime. "
" Entertaining, kept me guessing until the end (as I guess they're supposed to). "
" Good book. Kinsey had figured out who the murderer was long before I figured it out. "
" I read all the books in this series. They are nothing earth-shattering and after reading a few, you can see the formula. But I like the Kinsey character and they are easy and fun to read. "
" Fast-paced and I still haven't managed to work out whodunnit in advance, but still doesn't feel "real". For a start, if these really were Kinsey's write-ups of events, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't read like a book! Oh well. "
" I love Sue Grafton and her "Kinsey Milhone" series. Fun and quick reading. Great airplane reading. "

" Each book in the series gets better for me. "

" This is the book that started it all. I have been a Kinsey fanatic ever since. "

" meh ... it was too easy to figure out "
" It was hard to really get into this book. The narrative was hard for me to get through at first. "
" I love the jaunt of these Kinsey Malone stories. "
" Sudah lama g bc buku misteri, jdnya bc buku ini. Kasusnya cukup apik, cm penceritaannya gaya hollywood bgt. G ada yg istmw, tp lumayanlah, kayak nonton serial detektif di tv. "
" I read the Sue Grafton "Alphabet Series" many years ago, and loved them all. She's quite a good mystery writer! "
